Gabe JoyesAfter years of hyper-competitive collegiate soccer, Gabe found running on the trails and in the mountains to be ridiculously fun and refreshing. The challenge of ultramarathons became alluring, and Gabe has completed numerous ultras all over the mountain west, including top-10 finishes at The Bear 100 and Bighorn 100. The competitive spirit never fully went away, and Gabe has won races such as the Scout Mountain 100K and has a course record at the Never Summer 100K. But most of all, Gabe just enjoys big days in the mountains running, exploring, and scrambling up peaks. Gabe's personal running blog is Wind River Running.
